A nonlinear error control method for a five-axis
machine tool, relating to the field of precision
machining technology, is disclosed. The method involves setting a nonlinear error threshold; deriving forward and
inverse kinematics based on the
machine tool structure; acquiring tool position information at the beginning and end of the toolpath, calculating the corresponding movement of each axis, setting the starting point, deceleration times, and desired feed rate; calculating the fine interpolation points between the two axes; calculating the nonlinear error; if the error is not specified, then setting the feed rate and recalculating; if the error is not specified, then updating the speed between the two axes, setting the feed rate, and resetting the feed rate. This process is repeated until the end of the operation. For five-axis
machine tools with RTCP functionality, by setting an error threshold, adjusting the
machining speed between tool positions, and controlling the number and distance between interpolation points, the nonlinear error can be effectively controlled while ensuring
machining efficiency.
